Hillary Clinton has attacked Donald Trump, saying his campaign has empowered the far-right, white nationalist “alt-right” movement and that his campaign is making hate groups mainstream. This is Clinton, speaking in Reno, Nevada.
Hillary Clinton: “From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia. He is taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican Party. His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous.”
This comes as Hillary Clinton has released a new campaign ad linking Trump to the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups. This is a clip of the campaign ad, which begins with the imperial wizard of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the Ku Klux Klan speaking.
Imperial Wizard Billy Snuffer: “The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what he believes, we believe in. Donald Trump would be best for the job.”
Chris Thomas: “For president?”
Imperial Wizard Billy Snuffer: “Yeah.”
White Nationalist: “I am a farmer and white nationalist. Support Donald Trump.”
Jared Taylor: “Sending out all the illegals, building a wall and a moratorium on Islamic immigration, that’s very appealing to a lot of ordinary white people.”
David Duke: “Running against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage.”
That’s the voice of David Duke, the former grand wizard of the KKK, and before that, Jared Taylor, editor of the white nationalist magazine American Renaissance, featured in Hillary Clinton’s new campaign ad.
